History of North Kern Christian
School
In the spring of 1978,
the Mennonite Brethren Church of Wasco, under the guidance of Pastor Vernon
Reimer, established a three member fact-finding board to ascertain the
possibility of beginning a Christian School on the church campus. This group
continued to meet and seek God's will for such a school. After much prayerful
planning, North Kern Christian School (NKCS) became a reality in the fall of
1978, offering a course of study for grades K through 8 using the Accelerated
Christian Education (A.C.E.) curriculum. In the fall of 1984 NKCS began using A
Beka Book curriculum in grades 4 through 8 while maintaining A.C.E. in the
primary grades. In the fall of 1989 NKCS extended the use of A Beka to include
the third grade and in the fall of 1990 grades 1 and 2 also began using A Beka,
with the A.C.E. curriculum being used on a very limited basis.
North Kern Christian School is a ministry of the Mennonite Brethren Church
of Wasco, which is a ministry division of the Mennonite Brethren Church of
Shafter. The mission of the Mennonite Brethren Church of Wasco is: worshiping
and glorifying God; rejoicing in the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ; helping
people find Christ and making them His disciples. NKCS is a nondenominational
school and is open to all who want a Christian environment and Christ honoring
staff and curriculum for their school age children.

NKCS Statement of Faith
 |
We believe the Bible to be
inspired, the only infallible authoritative Word of God; |
|
We believe that there is one
God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
|
|
We believe in the deity of our
Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles,
in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily
resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His
personal return in power and glory; |
|
We believe that for the
salvation of the lost and sinful man, a regeneration of the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential; |
|
We believe in the creation of
man by the direct act of God as recorded in the Book of Genesis; |
|
We believe in the present
ministry of the Holy Spirit by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to
live a godly life; |
|
We believe in the resurrection
of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto resurrection of life,
and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation; |
|
We believe in the spiritual
unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. |
